Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup (120 g / 4.2 oz) Marinara sauce
  • 1 Low-carb pita bread
  • 2 oz (56 g) Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 14 slices Pepperoni
  • 1 oz (28 g) Roasted red peppers, chopped
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) Olive oil
  • For an authentic pizza 'cheese pull,' use a blend of low-moisture mozzarella and the cheddar cheese.
  • For extra-bubbly, browned cheese, switch the oven to broil for the final 30-60 seconds, watching carefully to prevent burning.

Method
 

  1. Directions1.
  2. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
  3. Carefully slice the pita in half horizontally to create two thin rounds.
  4. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil, and toast for 2-3 minutes until just golden and crisp.
  5. Remove the toasted pita from the oven.
  6. Spread the marinara sauce evenly over each half, leaving a small border for the crust.
  7. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheddar, then arrange the pepperoni slices and chopped roasted red peppers on top.
  8. Return the pizzas to the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly browned at the edges.
  9. Serve immediately!
  10. Don't skip the pre-toasting step! It's the secret to a crispy crust that won't get soggy from the sauce.
  11. Finish with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a kick of heat or some fresh basil for a burst of freshness.
